HC Deb 20 March 1990 vol 169 cc507-8W
Mr. Spearing

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what requests or instructions have been given to the Metropolitan police by the Government concerning development of revenue-earning potential.

Mr. Waddington

No such approach has been made to the Metropolitan police by the Government. However, the Commissioner announced in his strategy statement for 1990 that he has initiated a study of the scope for increasing receipts to the force as part of his concern to see that the best possible use is made of available resources. Any proposals which emerge will be put to me as police authority.

Forward to
